Plantar fasciitis?Hi, I will be starting my third Camino in about 3 weeks. Recently I have started to increase my activity per my usual training prior to beginning a Camino.
Just the other day a had a sharp pain on the inside of my right heel. It is sharp for a second and then seems to go away. But then after resting or sitting for a half and hour and then standing the sharp pain is there again. And so it repeats. It is sharp but short lived.
So I started to ice it twice a day.
I am trying to hold off from it getting worse, but still trying to continue an exercise program.
Any thoughts or treatment remedies that anyone casn sugget.
Should i just continiue to ice and keep exercising or stop completely until I eliminate the pain, or trudge through and hope for the best?
Thanks for your help.

Mine seems to be below the tibial posterior.I meant to add: Googling ‘diagnostic test’ for piriformis muscle problems, sciatica, and plantar fasciitis, might give you answers. For glute/nerve trouble you’d probably find a tender point around those muscles somewhere, which you might not realise existed.
Maybe I should say below the medial malleolus.Mine seems to be below the tibial posterior.
I agree completely. You must go see a doctor and if your insurance allows you go see a Podiatrist or Orthopedist. Personally I would go see the Orthopedist only because the problem with you foot may have originated further up your leg, even to your hip. If you know a good one of either specialty go, as Kathy F. said, as soon as possible.See a doctor asap. Your feet are your most important piece of equipment on the Camino.
It sounds like plantar fasciitis. Go see a good podiatrist.Hi, I will be starting my third Camino in about 3 weeks. Recently I have started to increase my activity per my usual training prior to beginning a Camino.

If it is plantar, ask your physio to tape your foot or you could self tape with the aid of youtube. I have learnt how to self tape and it has allowed me to walk in comfort. Planning the Camino primitivo next year, so hopefully my plantar has completely gone by then, Yes, it can last for years.

Thank you.Sounds like a post-tibialis tendon injury. I have partially torn mine twice. See a physio. There are very specific exercises for this. Recovery can be very fast, but it is not a problem you want to take with you on a Camino. They can also teach you the proper way to tape it with KT tape. Taping should not be relied upon for the duration of the Camino, but if you find it flares up 600km in, when you start climbing again, it is a good skill to learn. Good luck.

Might want to consider getting orthotic inserts but you will need time to break in.Can use a tennis ball and roll under foot and heel,which will help stretch out foot.If can self massage that also would be good.
I have been riding my bike, and that seems to stretch the tendon. So feeling optimistic.Might want to consider getting orthotic inserts but you will need time to break in.Can use a tennis ball and roll under foot and heel,which will help stretch out foot.If can self massage that also would be good.
